One day a rabbit was about how fast he could run. He was laughing at the for being so slow. Much to the rabbit's surprise, the turtle challenged him to a race. The rabbit thought this was a good joke and the challenge. The fox was to be the umpire of the race. As the race began, the rabbit raced way of the turtle, just like everyone thought. The rabbit got to the halfway point and could not see the turtle anywhere. He was hot and tired and to stop and take a short nap. Even if the turtle passed him, he be able to race to the finish line ahead of him. All this time the turtle kept step by step by step. He never quit no matter how hot or he got. He just kept going. However, the rabbit slept longer than he had thought and woke up. He could not see the turtle ! He went at full-speed to the finish line but found the turtle there for him.
